Summary

I have had the privilege over the past 16 years to be apart of many different types of projects and industries throughout British Columbia. I have worked on mining projects, oil refinery upgrades, traffic signal maintenance, and currently within the BC Hydro power system. My passion is in the power generation and distribution sector where I have been able to further my knowledge, skills and qualifications while maintaining exceptional safety records and meeting or exceeding timelines. My goal is to always help motivate crews, boost moral, teach safety, and ensure proper time management while working on projects. Nothing is to important to not do safely.
